kirby you were just dumb as shit for going to some fucked up religious college. im sure you could have gone to a half decent state school like pittsburgh or even penn state and afforded it just as well.

"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.

That feel when the most intelligent kid you know and yourself have a conversation in school about maths problems we can't get and he messages me asking for help on Facebook and I don't want to let him down

Well, I open my eyes and I see things. I've seen spirits moving through the walls. I've seen a vortex coming through the wall. I've seen amorphous little balls of light bouncing all around in the front yard through the window. I've seen giant bugs on the floor. I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall. Then I'll wake up and I go "Wow, I was standing on my bed and staring at this wall."

On the contrary those who are wealthier are on average MORE accomplished and more motivated because their rich parents inculcated him them the values that made them rich in the first place.

Inculcated with values or money to attain whatever they want and thus being on a higher playing field then the vast majority of people? I'll argue the latter.

Well if we are going to generalize...

I think the fact that you are a foreign rich kid who has had everything given to him and spends his time with people who most likely have a similar background as you, seeing as you go to such a totally awesome private school and all, has completely warped your perspective on education and the value of interacting with other people.

Pretty sure people pay A LOT of attention about what type of Yu-Gi-Oh deck one should make to win a duel or Risk strategy on Pogo, so more or less my musings on this topic falls under the same lines.

To put it simply:

And that's all I have been saying. Rayne, if you think it's cruel anti-social or whatever simplified label you want to put it, then you better have a lot of money not to give a shit about who you "befriend" to be able to survive in this world. But considering you belittle the amount of money state schools cost for a person with a very low income family I guess you have the luxury not to think of the world in this light, i.e. live in an alternate reality.

I missed reading these long bitch posts.

And I would like to point out I'm probably the only person here under the age of 21 that makes entirely her own income and pays all of her own bills with no parental help. With that saying, I'm pretty fucking broke.

I have an art for bitching about things, things that are to some trivial but to me are the biggest thorns in my existence, that only those with the finest of tastes can appreciate.

And, poor Kelsi. When I'm rich I'll mail you monthly checks for help.

Nope. I'm 20 and dealt with years of parental mental abuse that I was just a worthless piece a shit for pursuing music instead of any other "respectable" career.

I am in my second year of college. Every dime of food and college I have spent has been all out of personal pocket from selling music and from good grades and academic success that I've tried really hard for.

i was just being facetious in the first two posts but after actually reading the op like what the fuck are you even talking about holy shit. how is 'caters to rich people' a reasonable assumption to make of a public institution that only costs pennies and nickels to attend for in-state students, and is still SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than every other reputable private college for out of staters. in fact even if it were true (and ill admit it probably is) how is the fact that the wealth of students at my university is on average higher than that of whatever shitty college you go to even relevant? because someone's wealthy does not render them idiots nor does it nullify their accomplishments; on the contrary those who are wealthier are on average MORE accomplished and more motivated because their rich parents inculcated him them the values that made them rich in the first place. i think the fact that you're a poor person who somehow wandered into the realm of college education and considers himself accomplished just because he's doing significantly better than his peers at an institution where no one is expected to do well, AND the fact that you only have one other poor smart guy as a friend has completely warped your perspective on education and the value of interacting with other people. no one really pays attention to your opinion regarding most things and no one SHOULD pay any heed to whatever you say about those.
